Eventzee can be used for a number events, conferences and celebrations, but it can also be used to help great causes. Steve Walker is currently hosting a city-wide scavenger hunt to raise money to aid in relief efforts for the December 26, 2015 tornado that ravaged parts of North Texas, including Rowlett. We wanted to share his story and encourage anyone in the North Texas region to join the hunt and help out in the most fun way possible.

What is Scavenge Rowlett?Scavenge Rowlett is an urban scavenger hunt conducted on foot and with your smartphone. You’ll learn about our town, see some awesome landmarks and have a lot of fun solving clues and accomplishing missions that will move you up, up, up the leaderboard. Each mission will involve finding a person, place or thing, and taking some kind of photo. Many times it might be a selfie, and often a “silly-selfie” at that.

Why are you hosting this scavenger hunt?There has never been a scavenger hunt of this type or scale in Rowlett. Our residents and people from other communities in the D/FW area need to know more about this up-and-coming town that’s about to take the Metroplex by storm with the $1 billion Crystal Lagoon named “Bayside” under construction and a major mixed-use development in the downtown area in the works as well.

What do you hope to accomplish with this event?We want to get people out and about in the historic downtown Rowlett area, so they will learn a little history of the town and spend some time meeting other players. We want them to learn a little about using their smartphones and tablets as a way to get out and exercise rather than just playing couch-based video games. And we hope to start a semi-annual tradition of mobile-app-based scavenger hunts in Rowlett and neighboring towns like Rockwall, Garland, Mesquite and Wylie.

What is included in the ticket price?Every player will receive a custom-designed t–shirt, a lanyard with their nametag and a Scavenge Rowlett/Rebuild Rowlett silicone wristband. There will also be a “swag-bag” full of goodies from our sponsors. Some of the swag-bag items might be important for some of the hunt’s missions, so it will be a string backpack that each player can easily carry on their backs in their quest to top the leaderboard.

Where will this money go?All money raised by Scavenge Rowlett will go to the Rebuild Rowlett long-term recovery fund, which is administered by the Rowlett Chamber Foundation. This money is for long-term needs of residents arising from the December 26, 2015 tornado that ravaged parts of North Texas, including Rowlett. For more information visit www.rebuildrowlett.org.

What are the prizes?First prize is $300 cash or gift card, TBD. Second prize is $200, Third prize is $100. We will have additional prizes for categories such as most creative photo, most people in a photo, or other categories to be determined prior to game day.

We’re proud to announce that we have extended our Curator Gallery badge line for having your photos added to the gallery in an official Eventzee photo scavenger hunt. The Curator line was created with the intent of awarding creativity and uniqueness in photo submissions. We see so many great photos come in from players who take the time and effort to create their photos in fun and unique ways and they deserve to be awarded.

Magritte’s Main Man- Have 150 of your photos added to the gallery.

Pollock’s Print- Have 250 of your photos added to the gallery.

Michelangelo’s Masterpiece- Have 500 of your photos added to the gallery.

As you may imagine these badges are subjective to the admin at that time and what one person thinks is creative can differ from another admin, but the intent is to encourage players to get creative with their submissions.

The following are basic rules regarding how a photo can be added to the gallery:

A photo deemed unique and creative in regards to the clue. Whether that means they took the time to create a over-the-top situation or happened upon a unique subject for their photo, an admin saw their submission and thought it was gallery worthy.

Quality photos. We really want the galleries to represent the best of the best and that includes the quality of the image you send us. That does not mean players with better phones will have an advantage, it means we are looking for non-blurry, in-focus images.

Originality. Although we encourage people to play with friends we discourage players from all submitting the same photos. So if a gallery-worthy image is uploaded and it is followed by more mimic photos only the first to come in will be added to the gallery. Be original when playing with multiple people.

Anonymity: Remember that photo approval is anonymous so we won’t know who you are or how many photos you have had added to the gallery. This is completely unbiased and focuses solely on creativity and uniqueness.

Have fun with it. The key to creativity and enjoying Eventzee in general is having fun. If you’re having fun with your photo submissions, there’s a good chance that will show in your submission.

NO SCREENSHOTS. As always no screenshots will be approved or added to the gallery unless the clues asks for it e.g. #ThrowBackThursday.

The best way to achieve these badges is to join the free Weekend Photo Scavenger Hunts hosted by Eventzee each weekend. These worldwide hunts run from Thursdays to Sundays with clues going live at 3 PM MHQ time. Your photo will be either approved or rejected and you will earn points based on your submissions.

To join these hunts just find the Weekend Warriors event on the Eventzee in-app calendar and RSVP. If you’re interested in hosting your own Eventzee hunt please contact eventzee@munzee.com and we’ll get you set up with the right package!
